Simeon Wines was born in Jul 1812 Sth Petherton, SOM, ENG, (Caf has Jun.)1,2 Some sources believe Simeon Wines was born cir. 1814 from age at marriage.3 He was christened on 18 Feb 1815 Round Well St Independent, Sth Petherton, SOM, ENG; Simeon, b. July 1812 bap 18 Feb 1815 by Thos Griffith.1 Simeon Wines married Ellen Wilson on 30 Nov 1850 Avoca, Dist of Fingal, TAS, AUS, Simon WINES, 36, Ellen WILSON, 17; David has place as Fingal, Cas had Avoca, originally I had keyed date as 20th, but AUS vitals has 30th. A msge on the Rootsweb archives has Fingal as well, so without checking the actual geography, I've assumed that Fingal is the District and Avoca the place within the district.2,4,5,6,7 Simeon Wines died on 4 Sep 1879 Falmouth, TAS, AUS, at age 67; Caf has 4 Sep 1872, but the only Simon on my AUS dth index was 4 Sep 1879, ref #164 aged 69, which is the same yr as the Rootsweb AUS-CON mailing list (aged 69.)2,8
